Maybe not half of the entire US population, but I’d hazard “half” is a fair estimate for those living in border regions, like the Great Lakes.

Most people are in this fog where current events are only an ephemeral storyline that they tune into periodically like it’s a TV drama.
No, I think most people only have the spoons to handle what is in front of them for the next 3-7 days. Its a systemic problem, that’s been promoted by both parties: Keeping voters head’s spinning, and the cloak of darkness providing cover for what our oligarchs want to actually do.
I’ve recently had to explain this to another person: The further down you are, in getting your needs met on the Maslow diagram, the shorter your planning becomes.
If all your needs are met, you can plan for this year, next year, and make decent plans for beyond. If your basic physical needs like food, shelter, water, and housing aren’t being met, then your planning is reduced to 3-5 days, if that.
Its purposeful by design, for the working class to have their needs met partially only, at best, by the ruling class. So, we CAN’T plan further out.
Notice during the pandemic, when food, housing, water, etc were all being met better, due to a reduction in transportation costs, food distributions, moratoriums on eviction? We went from people re-learning to make bread, to “Fuck the system!” in a matter of a couple of months?
US has come close to being on the brink of becoming a rogue state.
We always have been.
Also who is to support Canada with arms to defend against the US invasion?
US citizens…
Could end in a long and bloody incursion, but for the conventional side of things the US would steamroll Canada at first.
That will be kinda hard, with US citizens shooting at their backs.
I don’t foresee them making it past Fort Erie, tbh. But, that would be one of the more logical choices to try, so I expect Trump to instead try to invade Sunnyvale Trailer Park.
Fort Erie.
Not even going to lie, the Great Lakes will quickly become Canadian territory if Trump tries to make serious on his claims. Most of the folk in my region love Canadians more than we do people in other states.
Love that movie… especially love the scene where they get tickets for the anti-Canadian “signage” not being in French as well lol
I think he seriously under-estimates how many Americans will side with Canada, with force.
That’s how you win asymmetric warfare.
I am, because this government has decided the US constitution just doesn’t matter, and now, we have literal nazis running the government.
I stand by my people, not the government oppressing them.
Or, we could use it for free! Get two birds stoned at once!
Because the people living there say they arent?
Back to the Nazi, separate them from the rest of society.
Permanently. Like how we permanently separated Nazis from the rest of the world in the 1940s.
The answer to the German question is that they spend a great deal of money on having an excellent education system,
I think it was more that they had their country completely flattened due to them being fascists, and didn’t want it to happen again.
I don’t see how mandatory jail time helps with “They need to reeducate the people”
Jail doesn’t work for Nazis. The world learned only one things solves the “fascism problem”.
Hey now! Australia is probably sick of everyone just sending criminals there!
They should have probably boycotted him at the polls, instead of voting for him.
I’ll oppose my own government then. With force, if required.
France has maintained those since the founding of NATO because they side eye us in all things
Historically, the US shat on France every time we got the chance. Started about 2 years after they financed our revolution.
Well, except the part about steam rolling into Canada… Because US forces will have US citizens shooting at them while they attempt to enter Fort Erie, or Niagara Falls.
Assuming that the US takes the most strategic point of entry, which I kinda doubt… Like they’d instead do something stupid like invade via Alaska, which I feel would have less pushback, in numbers, but a better armed citizenry fighting them on both sides.
Alaskans love hunting with AR-10s.
